WHY WOULD THIS QUESTION BE DELETED?
someone asked a basic question about how confusing was the trinity concept...How can that be offensive to anyone...except satan. He will probably cause this one to be deleted too.

AND, the real topper is, you will ask them how it was worded wrong and they will not reply. I had one about 'how do you spend time on your answers', i believe that is how I worded it. IT was on there for a couple days and I had some great answers to it. The reason I even asked it had to do with voting and subjects like that...YOU KNOW TO MAKE THINGS MORE LIKE WHAT YAHOO WANTS!!! ha,ha They deleted it. I guess I could have said "DO" you spend time, etc. So, I don't ask as many questions as I would really like to because of the deletions and never learning what the problem is. I mean if it is obvious, that is one thing, if it is obscure, that is ridiculous. I even took a survey and wrote them that they need to concentrate on the ones writing obscene words, insults, lies and rants. NOT worry about how a question is worded. With that said, I doubt if it will happen. AND, as far as R&S, I think they just go through there every once in a while and delete for any lame reason. Maybe they want to even the numbers out on both sides because I do report those "haters" and "insults". Not all the time, but if it is overboard, I do, just so you know. :)

Read the terms, they are so vague that anything can be deleted.
I'm guessing that it was deleted for 'misuse of question and answer format' otherwise known as chatting, although you could say that about any question and answer on here.
If it said 'insulting or ranting' then it usually is, although I asked an innocent question and I got a violation for insulting others.
I think the problem is, they don't review anything properly when they receive reports, a programme just deletes things randomly and it isn't fair.
If it wasn't for the cool people on here I'd just leave.

When people ask this question, they never seem to put the exact way the question was presented..only a clue about it. So, its hard to say.
R&S and Politics and Govt are notorious for reporting questions and answers based on nothing but someone wanting to stifle people's point of view. They should appeal the decision if they dont feel it was justified

They dont review nothing. They delete everything that is reported....
